Australia needs change to legislation so the maximum sentence now becomes the minimum sentence.

Australian sentences given to perpetrators of this abusive and societally destructive crime are too light and neither provide a deterrent, to the committing of this crime by punishing it strongly nor does it provide a punishment which reflects the severity of the acts the victims have been subjective to.

The actions of paedophiles are a life sentence to the victims. The effects of these acts never go away, creating psychological scars which are keep within the victims psyche and physical self for the rest of their lives.

I know first hand the traumatic effects of how a paedophile can leave lasting trauma not only on there victims but families as well.

I am pleading with the Attorney General's Office to urge the Australian Government to change legislation so the maximum sentence now becomes the minimum sentence.
